http://presseddownandshakentogether.blogspot.com/2007/10/kitchen-talk.html
Wednesday, October 24, 2007. They look like they're staying still, but actually they're moving in a freaky circle.". Levi describing the spiral shape of a galaxy. Roscoe's latest entry on the fridge shopping list. I believe he was actually writing "pencils x 10" but his handwriting is, uh, pretty bad. Mom, can I go to a whorehouse? Roscoe again. At the dinner table. He was referring to a "horror house," as in a Halloween haunted house. The answer was no in either case. Jesse loves booze, right? Introduce...

pressed down and shaken together: Amazing birthday gifts
http://presseddownandshakentogether.blogspot.com/2007/10/amazing-birthday-gifts.html
Wednesday, October 31, 2007. Check out these amazing birthday gifts from Roscoe and Logan. I don't think I've ever received anything so creative and whimsical. This one is from Logan:. It's a tower of treats. Graham cracker walls surround a can of Fresca, which stands upon a foundation of a tortilla. There's a moat of walnuts and Doritos, puncutuated by lollipops. The roof is bread, lollipops, and frosted mini-wheats. Wow. This is a mobile from Roscoe:. Odes to My Children. October 31, 2007 at 6:03 PM.

pressed down and shaken together: A True & Faythfull Account of the Tryals and Misfortunes of Jenny Lind
http://presseddownandshakentogether.blogspot.com/2007/09/true-faythfull-account-of-tryals-and.html
Sunday, September 23, 2007. A True and Faythfull Account of the Tryals and Misfortunes of Jenny Lind. Despite these thoughts, I did not, nay did not, put a onsie on Jesse. And that, dear reader, is where the tragedy of this tale begins. I will not violate your tender sensibilities with a description of the scene of base destruction and degradation that did assault my eyes upon entering the chamber. Allow me to present only these two items of fact as established in the public record:. What a way with words.

pressed down and shaken together: In which I demonstrate a firm grasp of the obvious
http://presseddownandshakentogether.blogspot.com/2015/01/in-which-i-demonstrate-firm-grasp-of.html
Thursday, January 8, 2015. In which I demonstrate a firm grasp of the obvious. Okay, 2014 was a bit of a slog. The endless disappointment of Mark's foot never healing was only the most visible of several challenging, energy-sapping struggles around here. I worked hard to soldier on, but by the end of year, my mental image of myself was of a shrunken, shrewish hag. Rushing from one task to the next, barking orders. Stop trying to do impossible things.

http://josheee.blogspot.com/2009/04/importance-of-eating-well.html
Cheaper than a movie and there's free coffee. Wednesday, April 1, 2009. The importance of eating well. Cheaper than the movies and there's free coffee. Good luck with your garden. Did you read the instructions on the tomatoes? April 1, 2009 at 2:30 PM. I'm glad you're having fun. I've been gardening too lately - but no veggies here. I'm working on just keeping flowers alive before I try food. Plus, pretty much all of my yard is pretty much always in shade. I'm glad you have a fun neighbor.

pressed down and shaken together: Messages from the underworld
http://presseddownandshakentogether.blogspot.com/2007/11/messages-from-underworld.html
Monday, November 5, 2007. Messages from the underworld. Every once in a while I encounter an image- a huge glob of jelly on the wall, a bottle of shampoo floating in the toilet, a meticulous construction of blocks, a jumble of ten little legs- and I marvel. Most people never see things like this. This Mexican luchador mask hung over my bedpost for several days. Was it a message? If so, I have yet to decode it. Titles from Roscoe and Logan's bike trip to the library. Shadow Thieves? When Roscoe is done wi...

http://presseddownandshakentogether.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. When I was in college, I took a two-week trip to the Bolivian altiplano, which is a whole story unto itself. I was with a humanitarian group, and we helped build a schoolhouse and wells in a very remote village. It was a great time. Some of the wonderful, unfamiliar people I saw. I think of this experience sometimes with my kids. Being a kid has got to be exhausting. Every year they are a whole new person being thrust into new responsibilities and situations. In fact...Prodding ...

pressed down and shaken together: Haley's Adoption Story, part I
http://presseddownandshakentogether.blogspot.com/2008/01/haleys-adoption-story-part-i.html
Friday, January 4, 2008. Haley's Adoption Story, part I. Haley's mom, that. Is her family now. As a foster parent, you're supposed to advocate for and support the birth family. You're supposed to hold back from judging the parents' mistakes and work to reunite the family. And I did all that. But now that Haley's mine, I can admit to myself that I think I'm a better mom than her birth mom would have been and I'm so glad she'll grow up here. 8220;What about it? 8221; I asked. We married the following winte...
